Black Cloud City.
After Nie Tian spread the news about Tianmen's imminent emergence through An Jia, Pan Tao, Jiang Lingzhu and others, he concentrated on practicing in the Nie family.
He is also preparing to step into the gate of heaven.
When he learned through Hua Mu that there was a heavenly gate that would open near the prison in Litian Territory, and that the qigong masters who could enter the heavenly gate were all strong men from all walks of life at the acquired, middle, and innate levels, he secretly Take it to heart.
Not only Li Tianyu, but also the three-day realm experts from other realms will pass through the three heavenly gates and enter the strange world together.
And he now only has the cultivation level of the early stage of the Houtian Realm, which is the weakest level of the Three-Day Realm. Entering that strange world with such strength, he is likely to become a lamb to be slaughtered.
He must increase his strength as much as possible.
In the stone chamber, he sat cross-legged on the ground, using the Qi Refining Technique and the spirit stone in his hand to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and sense the changes in the spiritual sea.
In the foggy spiritual sea, the spiritual vortex slowly rotated, pulling the white spiritual energy near the spiritual sea and refining it as the spiritual vortex swirled.
He peered with his mind and found that the spiritual energy that was drawn to the spiritual vortex would reappear in the spiritual sea in a more intense and pure form after being tempered by the vortex.
However, the condensed spiritual energy will appear in the shape of a ring at the outermost edge of the spiritual sea.
In his perception, the white spiritual energy at the outermost edge of his spiritual sea was obviously condensed and thicker, and the power contained in it was much stronger.
Although the spiritual energy that has not been refined is still in the spiritual sea, it is much thinner and contains much less power.
Carefully observing the movements of the spiritual sea and the refining of the spiritual energy by the spiritual vortex, he gradually gained an understanding of the cultivation of the acquired realm.
Due to the condensation of the whirlpool of spiritual power, cultivation in the Houtian realm is many times faster than the gathering of spiritual energy from heaven and earth in the Qi refining realm.
The gathered spiritual energy of heaven and earth is the first to escape into the spiritual vortex. After being condensed by the vortex, it will become more pure.
The refined spiritual power disperses in a ring around the spiritual sea in a thick mist.
In the Houtian realm, we will not continue to expand the spiritual sea, but will refine all the spiritual energy that originally existed in the spiritual sea over and over again.
The refined spiritual energy first appears at the outermost edge of the spiritual sea, then surges and squeezes inward in circles.
During the refining process, the spiritual vortex will continue to absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world, and in conjunction with the original thin spiritual energy along the inner edge of the spiritual sea, it will be condensed and refined one by one.
He carefully observed it and found that there were clearly thick and refined circles of spiritual energy at the outermost edge of his spiritual sea.
The condensed spiritual energy will be pushed by the re-refined spiritual energy and slowly surge towards the direction of the spiritual power vortex.
The constantly rotating spiritual energy vortex is like a well in the spiritual sea. It continuously absorbs the thin spiritual energy nearby, and cooperates with the redirected spiritual energy to refine it over and over again as the vortex swirls.
After refining, the extremely pure spiritual energy sank to the "bottom of the well" and miraculously appeared at the outermost edge of the spiritual sea.
At the outermost edge, the spiritual energy that has become pure after condensation pushes the thin spiritual energy and continues to flow into the "well" for refining again.
This is a cyclical process that starts over and over again.
However, Nie Tian, who had just entered the Houtian realm, had not even completed the first cycle.
After this period of practice, only a circle of purified spiritual energy appeared at the outermost edge of his spiritual sea.
He still has a long way to go before the first complete refining cycle of Linghai.
He estimated that with the speed of his cultivation with the help of spiritual stones, it might take half a year to complete the first complete refining of the spiritual sea.
This is the speed of cultivation that can only be achieved with the help of spiritual stones.
If there was no continuous supply of spiritual stones and he only practiced with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it might take him three to five years to completely refine the thin spiritual energy in the spiritual sea.
From the early stage of the acquired world to the middle stage of the acquired world, it may be necessary to completely refine the spiritual sea more than once.
"It's so tiring."
Opening his eyes and looking at the dark night sky outside the window, he sighed secretly.
He has long heard people say that the Qi Refining Realm is just the foundation. Only by entering the Houtian Realm can one be called an entry-level Qi Refining Practitioner.
Starting from the Houtian realm, every subsequent realm breakthrough will be much more difficult than advancing to the Qi refining realm.
In the past, he didn't have a deep understanding, but now he finally entered the acquired realm and truly realized the wonder of the spiritual sea. The mysterious refining process made him understand... The path of cultivation is really difficult step by step.
"Even with the spiritual stones given by the master and refining them day and night, it will take half a year to completely refine the spiritual energy in the spiritual sea."
"That cycle may last more than once, and it will continue to be refined again."
"After several times, several years have passed, and this... seems to have only reached the threshold of breakthrough."
"If you really want to make a leap, you also need the cooperation of your state of mind and your own perception."
"It's been a long road to practice, but today, it turns out that it's just the beginning."
Nie Tian was filled with emotions.
A Qi Refiner not only needs to practice, but also needs to practice and hone spiritual skills, understand the secrets of spiritual techniques, select spiritual weapons, and try to resonate with the spiritual weapons.
Some Qi Refiners, due to their talents and interests, may also delve into the techniques of weapon refining to figure out the runes and formations.
All the ways to improve the strength of a Qi Refiner will take a lot of time and require careful understanding.
The lifespan of a Qi Refiner is not endless. Only as the realm gradually improves, the lifespan will increase accordingly.
Many Qi practitioners died before they could break through to the next level and gain additional life span, and their lives came to an end.
He vaguely felt that his master Wu Ji seemed... to be facing this difficult problem now.
"Only by practicing at an extremely fast speed and advancing again and again can we increase our longevity and continue to practice." Looking at the dark, moonless night sky, he strengthened his determination.
- Even if his realm is low, he will try his best to step into the gate of heaven and go through the bloody trial.
A bit of fire suddenly flashed in the dark night sky. The fire... seemed to be deep in the void. It was extremely dim at first, but gradually became clearer.
"Tonight, there is no moon and no stars twinkling. How can there be firelight?" He looked at the night sky curiously.
After a while, more firelights appeared in the night sky one by one.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a little depressed. Just looking at the little bits of fire, he felt that something big had happened.
After a while, more and more firelights became gorgeous and bright, dragging colorful streams of light, which looked extremely dazzling in the dark night sky.
"meteor!"
Jiang Lingzhu's exclamation came from a nearby stone building.
Nie Tian walked to the window sill and saw Jiang Lingzhu and Ye Gumo standing at the window, seeming to be watching the strange things in the night sky.
After a while, the bunches of meteors in the night sky became more and more clear and obvious.
Hundreds of meteors showed different colors of fire, becoming more and more dazzling, attracting everyone's attention!
"Meteor shower! It's actually a meteor shower!"
Many children and juniors in the Nie family cheered loudly and looked excited.
"Something's not right..."
Looking at the increasingly clear and brilliant bunches of meteors in the night sky, Nie Tian looked grim and felt something was wrong.
Those meteors didn't seem to be fleeting in the night sky. The direction in which they were flying seemed to be the Litian Domain beneath everyone's feet!
"Before Tianmen appears, there will be signs in the Starry Sky Realm!"
He suddenly remembered Hua Mu's words before leaving, and became more and more nervous. He always felt that the meteors that suddenly flew across the night sky were caused by Tianmen!
"Isn't it really a mutation caused by Tianmen?"
Only half an hour later, there were probably nearly a thousand colorful shooting stars, trailing gorgeous fire lights, and they seemed to be very close at hand.
Those colorful meteors that were originally gathered together seemed to be affected by some strange magnetic field. They suddenly flew in all directions, completely scattered, and began to fall to the earth in various places in the sky.
Among them, there were a dozen flaming meteors, rushing towards Lingyun Sect and Black Cloud City.
"what happened?"
"Oh my God, an extraterrestrial meteorite fell!"
"God! How could this happen?"
The elders of the Nie family were alarmed one after another, and many people gathered densely on the streets outside Black Cloud City. They all looked up at the sky and turned pale with horror.
At this moment, not only Black Cloud City, but also the nearby cities, Lingyun Sect, and the powerful men from the prison surrounding Lingyun Mountain all looked up at the sky with fear.
In the Land of Meteors where Li Tianyu is located, meteors often streak through the sky, which is also the origin of the name of Land of Meteors.
But those meteors that pierce the sky often pass by in a flash and disappear quickly. Very few meteorites fall directly.
And tonight, those meteor showers that appear in the night sky seem to be coming specifically from the sky!
"Boom!"
The earth trembled, and in the icy wilderness around Black Cloud City, meteors seemed to have fallen to the ground. The terrifying impact caused the shaking Black Cloud City to roar.
"Lingyun Mountain!" Jiang Lingzhu screamed.
Nie Tian took a closer look and found several flaming meteors, releasing streams of flames of different colors, falling hard towards the surroundings of Lingyun Mountain like waterfalls.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The nearby Black Cloud City roared endlessly, and the earth shook. Many mortals were so shaken that they vomited blood and died in their sleep.
Even Nie Tian's energy and blood surged and he felt dizzy.
He quickly used his spiritual power to protect his whole body, gritted his teeth secretly, and stared at the night sky.
"call out!"
A stream of orange-red flames suddenly grew in size, like a gray boulder burning with flames, and rushed towards Black Cloud City.
"boom!"
The stream of flames fell on the location of the Yun family, setting off a terrifying shock wave in Black Cloud City, and many mortals in the city let out desperate cries.
"Boom!"
Most of the stone buildings in the Nie family suddenly collapsed, and the stone building where Nie Tian was located was no exception.
He was frightened and jumped out quickly before the stone building turned into ruins.
Standing on the cracked stone floor, he saw Jiang Lingzhu, Ye Gumo, Pan Tao and others running over in fear.
He heard miserable wailing sounds coming from various locations in the Nie family.
Outside the Nie family, people were crying loudly in every corner of Black Cloud City.
